Please wander around the website for more info, prices, values & images

1972 O-Pee-Chee Baseball Cards
Also called OPC and Topps Canadian, most vintage OPC sets were
near replicas of their Topps brothers. Exact same design, the
major difference was the French & English backs.
Cards differed from their Topps versions mostly due to "Made in Canada",
French/English and different colored backs.
Of note: Card #465 (Gil Hodges) differs from the Topps version
with the addition 'Deceased April 2,1972" to the card front.
Card stock differs but O-Pee-Chee cards can be identified
even easier by O.P.C. in the copyright line rather than T.C.G.
TOP ROOKIE: Carlton Fisk is the only rookie of note.
TOP STARS: Nolan Ryan, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays,
Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Ted Williams, Thurman Munson, Reggie Jackson...

1977 O-Pee-Chee (OPC) Baseball Checklist & Values
In 1977, O-Pee-Chee decide to reduce the size of their set from 660 in 1976 OPC
all the way down to only 264 for 1977 OPC.
This was at the same time that baseball added Canada's 2nd team, the Toronto Blue Jays.
As the set became much, much smaller, the Canadian teams (Expos and Blue Jays)
were way overrepresented. Most the other teams had only (6) to (11) cards,
the Blue Jays and Expos had (27) and (29).
All the team cards, that had been in Topps set, were eliminated while
the Jays and Expos managers and coaching staffs had their own cards.

Baseball card collecting terms (part A)
Airbrushing is the art of touching up a photo prior to the card being printed.
It was generally done to remove imperfections or update or hide a players
jersey/cap logo. Because of advancements in print technology and computers this is
no longer needed.
All-Star card (AS) usually a subset card picturing a player who participated in the
previous season’s all-star game. Topps created these in their 1958 High Number
issue and has continued the practice fairly regularly to date. Such cards
are usually designated in price guides with the abbreviation of AS.
Assorted A general mix of cards often containing many duplicates.
Auction items are sold to the highest bidder. Auctions used to be live
or thru the mail/phone but today most auctions are online.
Auction Catalog lists the rules and descriptions and often images
of the items in an auction.
Authentication verification that an item (card, autograph) is genuine. Most "game-used"
material inserts have a written declaration of authenticity on the reverse.
Authorized Issue card or memorabilia item that has been properly licensed. If
the item is of a player, his written permission must be given in order for it to be considered authorized.
